Nature and Noguchi

In many of the past meetings, we have been discussing how Noguchi and his museum are very inspired by nature. All of the members of TAB have fleshed out many different ideas relating to nature. After the meeting on March 3rd, I decided to write the following poem about Noguchi's use of nature. Enjoy!

Natural Surroundings
Toriane Agostino

Walking amidst
The jungle
Of metal and stone
The walls seem
To move in and out
With the breaths of life

There may only be
Inanimate objects around
But if you listen
Life flows throughout

The rock
From the Earth
The light
From the sun
The water
From the springs
The sound
From the people

It might only be
A museum full
Of astonishing art
But there is life
Within the work
Of Isamu Noguchi
